hello i am editing a dvd movie on my pc, i have ripped it with smart ripper,then dvd2avi it,then tmpgenc it into mpeg2 with all the highest bitrates and slowest/best scans (usually takes about 19 hours) however when there is a lot of motion on screen i get tons of lines around this area. i tried searching the forum but coldnt find anything please help me out or at least shoot me a link to some help thanks oh yeah the motion lines appear in both the editing software and all ways of playback!
When you Ripped the DVD in DVD2AVI did you have the "Forced Folm" option enabled under "Video" to "Field Operations" ??? If not then this is why you are seeing Interlace artifacts on your Monitor...When you select "Forced Film" (NTSC DVD"s Only) it removes the 3:2 Pulldown Flags and returns the Video Back to It"s Native 23.976fps Progressive Film State.... also you will Only see these on your PC monitor and Shouldn"t show up on your TV set because your Monitor isn"t made to display Interlaced Content were your TV set is.... Also There is absolutly no reason why you have to encode the VOB files to Mpeg-2 so you can edit them Because VOB files on the DVD are Essentially Just Mpeg-2 files and your re-encodeing Is Just wasteing a Lot of Time and Lowering the Quality.... If you want to edit a DVD/Vob files then all you need is a Native Mpeg-2 editor Like "Womble Mpeg2VCR" or "Womble Mpeg Video Wizard 2005" which will allow you to edit your VOB files and even add effects and Transitions without affecting the Quality and it will save the VOB files as a DVD Compliant Mpeg-2 file that you can simply just author to DVD...also this all takes Minutes Not hours to do.... Cheers
